*as far as i'm concerned... a gang of bank robbers hits a bank and the elderly teller drops dead of a heart attack... the get-away driver, even if he's a block away, should take the full weight as well.

this isn't about intent... it's about the fatal consequences of a criminal act.

A large rally was held in B.C. today to protest the increasing level of violence. With sentences like this being handed out, these poor folks were just wasting their time. This kind of judicial blasphemy just gives the criminals a green light to continue their reign of terror.Of course, the NDP justice critic was there to lend support to the rally while his party continues to block every effort by the Conservatives to toughen the laws. What a farce!
